Turned on camera and all pics from memory card were erased. The number 670 still shows up in the right corner of the camer when I turn it on. When I take a picture, it says 1. Pictures and camera seem to be working fine. I took the memory card to CVS and pics are not there. I don't have a clue what happened to the pics I had on the memory card but I hope I can somehow retrieve them. Thanks

If you are using a memory card, take no more pics until you've recovered the photos, take the card out of the camera. This is to reduce the chance of you overwriting some of your "lost" photos. There are many good freeware photo recovery software o ...

Card Error I have an Optimus 8.0 camera with a Kodak 2 gb memory card. I took many pictures on the card, and viewed but never download the pics...I went to take another picture and got a card error... Acts like all pictures are gone and card needs to be formatted. Is there any way I can retrieve the pics that were already on the card. I hope I haven't lost all my pictures.

Use a card reader to download your pictures to a folder you create on your desktop. Then, format the card in the camera. Next time, don't wait so long to download your pics. ...

Hey.
I bought a new camera some days ago with a new Digix 4gb SDHC memory card. I went to Disney World and took normally a lot of pictures. From one moment to another, the camera gives me the message "Memory card error" and won't let me take nor view pictures. I tried removing the memory card and everything. I checked and It isn't locked or something.
Also, I tried using a memory card reader on my laptop, and it says I have to format to read the card.
I REALLY don't want to lose the pic

The first thing that may be complicating things is, can your laptop read SDHC cards, or just SD cards? If the laptop is asking you to format it, then probably it's working, but be really sure, before you continue.Check the co ...

You problem set your camera to use internal memory only. Set the memory function to memory card only and all pictures will go to the memory card until it is full. You can probably still transfer your pic files from internal memory to your card. ...

I turn on my camera and it says "memory card is write protected" what does that mean? because it won't let me take any pictures i can view pictures I've already taken but i can't take pictures. How can I fix this problem?

It means just that, you can't write new files (take pictures) while its in that state.\015\012\015\012Take the card out, and check the left hand side of the card. You should see a small notch that can be moved betwee "Write protect" and " ...

Can't get a picture on the screen - just shows black. When we turn the camera on the LCD screen displays the function choices and menu options, but will not display any image. If we take a picture using the view finder and then check for the image, nothing is displayed. We just checked the memory card, and it doesn't even take a photo. All we got was black. Any suggestions?

When I turn the camera on, the view finder is blank or black. When I click to take a picture, it goes through the motions, but the picture is blank/black. I can view my saved photos on the memory card though.

Sounds like a bad CCD sensor. I've seen the same problem in several brands of digital cameras (Canon & Sony). Better off replacing rather than repairing. ...
